Four city council districts let constituents decide how to allocate some funds. Brad Lander, Brooklyn City Councilman (D 39), and Alexa Kasdan, director of research and policy for the Community Development Project at the Urban Justice Center, review the results. Plus Christine Petro, Windsor Terrace resident, and George Sanchez, Cobble Hill resident, talk about their projects that received funding. 

Alexa Kasdan, director of research and policy at the Urban Justice Center's Community Development Project, and Agnes Rivera, board member at Community Voices Heard and a resident of the Wagner Houses in East Harlem, discuss their report "We Call These Projects Home: Solving the Housing Crisis from the Ground Up" (PDF).
